Cris Carter, Duron’s dad, makes joke about son’s fight

Duron Carter threw some punches in Regina last week and Cris Carter wants his son to keep fighting – sort of.

Carter was involved in a practice fight with Sam Williams – hockey-style with helmets off – that led to a controversial week in Regina. The 26-year-old was coming off the best receiving game of his pro career, 231 yards on 11 catches when the incident happened.

Carter was flipped over to defensive back for Saskatchewan’s convincing victory against Calgary at McMahon Stadium. He graded out higher in that contest as a DB than any game at receiver in 2017, making two tackles and returning an interception for a touchdown.

That prompted Chris Jones to let it be known about his cover skills: “If he fully devoted time at DB he could be as good as any DB in the league.”

So Carter’s dad wants him to fight on – mentally at least.
